so how was the PSAT

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey guys was the PSAT easy or hard. And how does it compare to last years one?</p>

2

<p>Critical Reading was so-so. Sentence completions were surprisingly easy.</p>

<p>Math had a few tough questions. Grid-ins were easy.</p>

<p>Writing was extremely easy. UNBELIEVABLY easy. haha</p>

3

<p>ehh i dunno i thought the 1st reading section was difficult. i skipped 3 vocabs and didn't get to finsh the maybe missed 2. the math was easy but i made some pretty stupid mistakes and skipped 1 but fortunately the ones i missed was the grid ins which didn't cost any penalty points. and writing was also easy however i did skip one question because it was confusing and maybe missed at most 2.</p>

<p>I found CR and WR to be easy, but these are my strengths, so...take it with a grain of salt? I found math simple comparatively, but I think I did badly, mostly because I suck at it. But it was easier than most, I think, except for some rough ones at the end. Anyone agree?</p>

<p>I've never taken it before, but I didn't study much at all and I thought it was easy - easier, at any rate, then the practice booklet we got (for the math sections, at least). My class's main problem (not mine) was that a lot of people ran out of time on the Grid-ins. Overall, I'd say there were only a few tough questions, but there were plenty that left me wondering if I'd been gullible enough to take the too-obvious wrong answer.</p>

6

<p>Are the tests given on Wednesday and Saturday the same test?</p>

<p>I'd assume so since the curves are graded based on everyones results right?</p>

7

<p>No, the Wednesday and Saturday tests are ALWAYS different</p>

8

<p>I really hope I did well on the reading and writing section, if I make an 80 on the math section, I won't worry as much.</p>

<p>But if I miss one or two in math, I'm screwed.</p>

<p>The PSAT's are made up of previously given SAT questions. Just like the SAT, the curve is pre-determined.</p>

<p>hey guys</p>

<p>did u guys remember the sentence error question in grammar that was like</p>

<p>The men, angry about the bill, clamored around the building to prevent its being passed”. </p>

<p>I put "being passed" was incorrect. Is that what u guys got?</p>

11

<p>Hey did u guys kno the answer to this sentence error question</p>

<p>"The men, angry about the bill, clamored around the building to prevent its being passed”</p>

<p>I put "being passed", which was choice D, as incorrect.</p>

<p>Is that what u guys got?</p>

12

<p>Yea, thought it should be 'passage' instead.</p>

13

<p>"being passed" was incorrect. I'm 99% sure.</p>

14

<p>the incorrect answer or incorrect grammar?</p>

15

<p>math: such a joke!
writing: nothing that hard........conquerable
critical reading: only one section was a bit hard...to the level of SAT, but the others, to the same level as math...........</p>

<p>Woops, I mean "being passed" is the correct choice. It's incorrect grammar.</p>

17

<p>actually i'm about 100% sure that the word "its" is the problem: it's an ambiguous pronoun. being passed sounds awkward but i think that the pronoun was the bigger problem in the sentence. the its was meant to refer to "bill" but it was stuck in a prepositional phrase so it referred to opponents instead, which is incorrect.</p>
